Mousasi and Kyle were originally scheduled to meet in April 2011;
Kyle was forced from the bout due to an injury, leaving Mousasi to
fight replacement Keith
Jardine to a controversial draw. Mousasi has since recorded
victories over Ovince St.
Preux and Japanese judoka Hiroshi
Izumi, but has not competed since December 2011. Kyle topped
previously unbeaten Brazilian Marcos
Rogerio de Lima last December before having a 33-second
submission loss overturned when opponent Rafael
Cavalcante tested positive for a banned substance.

Larkin also had a loss removed from his record for the same reason;
the overturning of his January defeat against Muhammed
Lawal kept his unblemished record intact. In July, Larkin
notched a unanimous decision over Robbie
Lawler to improve to 13-0. Ex-champ Souza has recorded
back-to-back wins since dropping his title to Rockhold, most
recently clobbering Derek
Brunson in a 41-second August bout.

Healy, who was to challenge Melendez for the lightweight strap,
comes in on a five-fight win streak, during which he topped former
Sengoku champ Mizuto
Hirota and prospect Maximo
Blanco. He faces former challenger Masvidal, who rebounded from
a five-round loss to Melendez with a July outpointing of Justin
Wilcox.

Noons will attempt to end his Strikeforce run on a high note after
losing three of his last four starts. Couture, who has made all six
of his professional appearances with the promotion, will look to
run his streak to four after wins over Conor Huen, Joe Duarte
and Maka
Watson.
